Remember this isn't meant to complete with the PSP in terms of power, this is not GBA2, that's still in the pipeline. It really bugs me when people only respond with "PSP will 0wn it".
The DS has double the battery life of the PSP and is more than half the price.
This is a third peice of hardware to run alongside GBA and GC. |
Wow you must work for sony because as it stands now, it is unknown what the battery life of the PSP will be. Rumors have it that the PSP will also have 10 hours considering its also using a lithium-ion rechargable battery. NO ONE KNOWS YET.
Sony stated that during TGS all information on the system will be revealed with playable games at the show aswell.
How many companies do you actually think will even bother to use the Mic and Touch Screen? How many even used the GB's camera and printer?
IMO, I think the PSP will give it a good challenge, In the long run it all falls back on the games... Can Nintendo back it better in the long run then they did with the GC? Who knows...
